"City of God" XVIII.9-11

Chapter 9:
Athens, that central city of pagan thought, was (if their own stories are to be believed) the child of demonic in-fighting and so regularly guilty of shooting itself in the foot that it's hard to see how anyone could look to this part of the city of man for inspiration for anything!

Chapter 10-11:
The development of Athens and Assyria continued while Moses and Joshua led the people into the promised land.

About Me

I am Assistant Professor of Political Science at Southwest Baptist University in Bolivar, Missouri, where I live with my wife. I have a PhD in Political Theory from The Catholic University of America in Washington DC. My dissertation was on the political theory of Jonathan Edwards (the theologian, not the psychic or the musician).
